BLAST SAD-IRON.

Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Sept. 19, 1916.

Application filed May 4, 1916. Serial No. 95,345.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SAMUEL GoLnsTInN,

a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the county and State of New.

York, have invented a new and Improved Blast Sad-Iron, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to blast sad irons.

An object thereof is to provide a simple and efficient iron.

A further object is to provide a blast sad iron having a door which can be opened or closed with one finger.

Another object of the invention is to provide a blast sad iron having a removable door and deflector whereby the cleaning and fixing of the iron and its removable parts is greatly facilitated.

lVith the above and other objects in view, the nature of which will more fully appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists in the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts as herein fully described, illustrated and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, forming part of the application, similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure l is a longitudinal section through a blast sad iron embodying my invention; Fig. 2 is a section on line 22, Fig. 1 ,Fig. 3 is a rear elevation of the iron; Fig. 1 is a vertical fragmentary section on line H, Fig. 3; and Fig. 5 is a perspective viewof the flame deflector.

Referring to the drawings, 6 is the hollow body of the iron, which is of customary elongated shape tapering toward the top and front thereof and having in the rear of the iron body an opening 7 which forms an entrance to the hollow. A hollowed-out flame deflector Sis placed into the hollow of the body 6 through the opening 7. The hollow portion of the deflector faces the bottom 9 of the iron body. The side walls 10 of the flame deflector extend to the opening and thereat have heels 11 entering a recess 12 provided in the bottom 9. The recess also accommodates trunnions 13 at the lower edge of a door 14. The heels 11 extend over the trunnions and thereby lock the door at the opening. The portion of the rear wall at the lower edge of the opening 7 is cut away to clear the portion of the door alining with the trunnions to allow the door 14: to swing from the closed to open position, as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1.

It will be noted that the trunnions 13 of the door 14 are off set so that gravity normally tends to open the door, but this is prevented by a latch 15 mountedto swing in the plane of the rear wall of the iron body, gravity maintaining said latch always across the opening, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4. The free end of the latch 15 on the right side has a bevel 16 to be engaged by a cam 17 formed on the inner surface of the door 14 at the upper left-hand corner. This cam comes into engagement with the bevel 16 of the latch causing the latch to swing to the left (see Fig. 3) when the door is moved to close the opening. flush with the rear wall gravity will swing the latch 15 across the door. Due to the acquired velocity under the action of gravity, the latch 15 is carried into the path of the door and prevents the door from opening. Then it is desired to open the door, it is only necessary to swing the latch 15 clear When the door is of the door, when gravity will cause it to f drop to the position shown in dotted line .the same has fallen under the action of gravity.

The flame deflector 8 is locked within the iron body by a screw 20 threaded through the top 21 of the body 6 and made to engage the top of the deflector. A longitudinal slot 22 is provided in the top'2l at the rear opening 7 of the body to accommodate a burner 23, the tip 2 1 of which is supported within the body in the flame de-.

flector 8 by a flange 25 forming an integral part of the burner and resting on the top'21.

The burner is locked to the body by a screw 26 which secures the handle base 27 to the body. The flange 25 is preferably recessed and engaged by a projection of the base 27 to prevent longitudinal displacement of the burner. The tip 2% has a flame deflecting lip 28 at the top thereof spaced from the tapering top surface 29 of the flame deflector, said surface tapering downwardly from the tip toward the front end of the flame deflector 8. The flame deflector 8 has a substantially triangular rib 30 on the tapering surface 29 in alinement with the tip, the apex of said rib being near the front end of the deflector 8. In alinement with said rib, said front end has an opening 31 which allows the product of combustion to pass into the hollow of the body 6 in front of the flame deli ctor. The rib 30 serves to divide the flame in a vertical plane, while the tapering surface 29 forces the flame generated by the tip toward the bottom 9 of the body 6.

lw hen it is necessary or desirable to remove the deflector S or the door it, the screw '26 is removed, thereby unlocking th burner, which may be pulled out of the slot by dropping the door ll to the position shown in dotted line in Fi By removing the screw 20 and raising the heels 11 of the flame deflector 8 above the trunnions 13 of the door leithe deflector may be pulled out through the opening 7. The door 1% can then be removed from the de rcssion 12. To 7 1. A blast sad iron comprising a hollow body having an opening in the rear thereof and a recess in the bottom of the body at the opening, a door tor said opening having trunmons m the recess, allame deflector in the hollow of the body having heels fitting into the recess and engaging the trnnnions of the door, a burner within the body cooperating with the flame deflector, and a handle for the body.

2. In a sad iron, a hollow body having an opening in the rear thereof and a recess in the bottom of the body at the opening, a door for said opening having trunnions at the lower edge engaging the recess, a flame deflector in said body having means for engaging the trnnnions in the recess whereby the door is locked within the body, a burner within the body codperating with the flame deflector, a handle for said body to secure the burner to the body, and a latch for securing the door at the opening.

8. In a sad iron, a hollow body having an opening inthe rear thereof and a recess in ie bottom adjacent the opening, a door havng trunnions at the lower edge engaging he recesses, a flame deflector removable hrough the rear opening having means onering the recess and engaging the trun- Ions, means tor locking the flame deflector the hollow of the body whereby the trunnions are locked in the recess, a latch for locking the door in closed position, a burner in the hollow cooperating witn the flame de flector, and a handle for said body engaging the burner and loclting the sametothe body.

4t. In a sad iron, a hollow body having a rear opening, a door for the opening, a

burner in the body, a hollow flame deflector within receiving the burner tip within the hollow, sa id deflector facing said tip with a surface inclined from the tip to the bottom f the body, and a triangular-shaped rib on said inclined surface alining with the tip, the rib hating the apex thereof removed from the tip, said deflector having an opening at the end remote trom the tip in alinement "ith the rib, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

5. In a sad iron, a hollow body having a rear openin a door for the opening, a burner carried by the body, said burner having a tip within the hollow, said tip having a flame-deflecting lip at the top thereof, a hollow flame deflector within the hollow body presenting to the tip a, surface inclined from the deflecting lip of the tip to the bottom of the body, and a rib depending from said inclined surface in alinement with the tip, said deflector having an opening removed from the tip in alinement with the rib.
